Effective Communication
Thursday, August 21, 2008 at 08:53PM Here is a blog post constructed exclusively from 10 tweets on Twitter. If you are a Twitter user, follow me!
------------------------------------------------------
Luntz's Words That Work. Ignore the partisanship: powerful stuff on effective communication. His 10 rules are gems (I break them often).
| Rule 1. Simplicity: Use Small Words. How about "wrong name" instead of "misnomer" |
Rule 2: Use Short Sentences. Instead of overly complex and wordy constructions, stick with simpler, easier to understand sentences, thereby
Rule 3: Credibility is as Important as Philosophy. These tweets will change your life, and make you a superior communicator like I.
| Rule 4: Consistency Matters. Consistency Matters. Consistency Matters. Consistency Matters. Consistency Matters. |
| Rule 5: Novelty - Offer Something New. Tell me something I don't know. Like these 10 rules
|
| Rule 8: Visualize. Imagine a crowd of 1500 giving a standing ovation to your next presentation. |
| Rule 9: Ask a Question. What will you do to become a better communicato |
Rule 10: Provide Context and Explain Relevance. We have all been misunderstood. Now let's take control of our communication!
